Danbury's New Antiquity Tapped to Design Nod Hill Brewery in Ridgefield

Danbury, CT. Sarah and Matt Rink of design-build firm New Antiquity have been named interior architects for Nod Hill Brewery by co-owners Rob and David Kaye. “We are delighted to work with the Kaye’s on this very special project”, say the Rinks. Before founding New Antiquity, Matt grew up in the trades, while Sarah was the display coordinator at Anthropologie in Westport CT.

Both Alfred University Fine Art graduates, they launched their careers online by setting up their first shop on Etsy, selling affordable, custom handmade furniture.Sarah and Matt quickly honed their unique style, swiftly advancing to creating architectural millwork packages in both wood and metal for companies in Boston such as Oath Craft Pizza, the Grommet, Global Organics, Squeeze Juice, Night Market, and more. Local clients include Market Place in Danbury and Prime Pub in Bethel. Appealing to all ages and genders, the couple enjoys using rustic and natural materials in line with their keen eye for craft. Their business model is centered around working with companies that are willing to “work both ways”, in the sense that they enjoy working in a collaborative environment.

Says David Kaye, “We envisioned serving our offerings in a comfortable and elegant taproom that combines the airy industrial feel of the building with a cozy pub-like atmosphere, and the Rinks have been key in implementing that vision.” New Antiquity’s design scheme for Nod Hill will be based on rustic old world industrial design elements, such as historic crafted cabinetry and millwork, and factory-style windows. These features will be complimented with touches of modernity and elegance, such as hand-cut Moroccan tiles, natural wood beams, and live edge lumber used throughout the space.

 Nod Hill Brewery is set to open its doors this October. For more information, call 203-617-1191 or visit Nodhillbrewery.com as well as Newantiquity.com.
